Modeling, Analysis, and Control of Epidemics over Networks
We present and analyze mathematical models for network-dependent spread. We introduce a class of reproduction numbers that extends the scalar approach to capture overall behavior in the networked setting. We show how these networked reproduction numbers capture local as well as global behavior. We then discuss parameter identification, showing that epidemic processes belong to a class of systems that suffer from practical identifiability and lack of persistent excitation. We present the greedily weighted recursive least squares algorithm to overcome these challenges. We conclude by discussing safety-critical control of epidemics presenting results that encourage cooperation between nodes to ensure safety. If time permits, we will discuss a novel model-free pandemic mitigation framework for strategy evaluation and feedback control inspired by data from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and Purdue University (Purdue) during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Speaker:
Philip E. Paré is the Rita Lane and Norma Fries Assistant Professor in the Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2018, after which he went to KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden to be a Post-Doctoral Scholar. He received his B.S. in Mathematics with University Honors and his M.S. in Computer Science from Brigham Young University in 2012 and 2014, respectively. He was a 2023 recipient of the NSF CAREER award, an inaugural Societal Impact Fellow at Purdue in 2021, and a 2023 Teaching for Tomorrow Fellow at Purdue as well. His research focuses on networked control systems, namely modeling, analysis, and control of virus spread over networks.
